The first commandment is to love God with all of our heart, soul and strength, and when we approach the end of our journey to Him, we will be able to love Him so with all. But until we approach the finish, we can practice loving our neighbor as ourselves. Thus we can fulfill the law as we walk toward Him, to the benefit and joy of our own souls; but also to the benefit of others and even to the freeing of the Christ in others. Our good ways are seen and appreciated by Christ in them. Even smiles to others are smiles to the Christ within them. What we do for others, we do for Christ.

‘For I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.' Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink?' ... And the King will answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.' Mat 25:35-37, 40

If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen? 1 John 4:20

Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Rom. 13:8-10 But until you are filled with love, by dying to self, you cannot completely love your neighbor as yourself, nor can you fulfill the law, yet.


Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things; love never fails. 1Cor.13:4-7

wow! what a day!


I will wait for you!
It hurts... but this is life!
Lately I had been going to bed at 3am and waking up at 6am!
Yes, I don't get enough sleep at times. Why?
Because with all my thoughts in my mind... I can't sleep peacefully!
A new habit has been developed!
Not a healthy one, but am glad that I am somewhat using my time wisely. Blogging and Reading many different posts. My day go with all the busy-ness in life. Living, Learning, Helping, Laughing, Eating, Exercising, and Partying! It was Friday- January 30, 2009 But now is a new day. I am waiting for the sunrise! A new day is about to begin... and once again... with more busy-ness! It becomes a life cycle after awhile. What will make the day more special? Any excitements to look forward? Why are you living?
Are you think about the right stuff?
I have questions about life. Everyone does, at some point in their lives! Questions that can be answered in a simple word or with a long explanation.

I know that life has NO meaning if we don't have God in our life. For those OUT there that don't believe that there is NO GOD. I am sorry for You! Because life is much more wonderful if You know and believe with whole heart that Jesus Christ came to this Earth to saved us from OUR SINS and to show us what is LOVE!

Godly love... NOT worldly LOVE!
There is NO ONE like Him!

Those that are reading this... might be wondering how do I know?
Because the Bible tell it so!

Where?
-- there are many different verses in the Bible.
I won't list it ALL... you can search it for yourself...

Got questions??? you can ask me... and I will try to answer them...

John 3:16-21
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."

Need more proofs... then ask God to show You the TRUTH!

Today(Friday) I learned new steps for salsa dance,
made some amazing bracelets,
and baked a tasty cake!


One of my struggle right now is to start living a new life and forgetting about the past!
I want to have a new life with different adventures on the way. I want to see new faces and want to network more and more. I am so glad that I joined this blog!

I don't know who is reading this.
But one thing is for sure...
I want to let this world hear what I have to say!

where does my help come from?

2 My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

3 He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;

4 indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

Trust God


5Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
(Proverbs 3:5-6)

It is human nature to trust in themselves instead of God!

We’ll easily trust in our wealth, beauty, strength, talent, or any other good quality we have, but when it comes to trusting God.

Out flesh longs for satisfaction. But out spirit is bound to seek tangible sources of strength,
because that’s what the flesh knows and understands.

The flesh doesn’t like things that it can’t see and touch.

To live by faith is a challenge.

Usually we can’t see God’s kingdom at work in the natural. We know that at some point in the future it will be clearly visible to all people, but for now it is veiled.

God calls us to put our faith in him and trust him for all things. This requires us to seek him.


Jesus said, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well”
(Matthew 6:33 NIV)


Those “things” that Jesus was talking about were all things that we need for living, such as food, shelter and clothing.
God is a good God and he loves us very much
.

He longs for opportunities to demonstrate his affection toward us.

Our trust in him opens up the opportunities.


It takes humility to obey God when he tells us not to do something we want to do.
If we decide to continue trusting in our own abilities and strengths, we can’t expect God to draw near to us.


6 But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, "GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE."
7 Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

James 4:6-8 NASB


When we exercise humility by trusting in God,
we have the assurance that he will draw near to us and hear our prayers.


What are some of the reasons we may not trust God completely? Not knowing Him that well...
What are the lies behind those reasons?
??

If our faith is weak, what can we do for help? Dig Deeper into the Word!

I answer your call to live by faith and commit to seeking you each day.

Please help me overcome any unbelief I may have.

So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again

Everything I believe in
Now I surrender

We’re singing for the glory of the risen King


Let God fill your heart with LOVE!

He wants to reach out to You!

... questions ...


One reason that people live their lives is because they are looking for happiness... LOVE!

Life is vaguely pleasant in its way, and fulfilling.

But at the same time it is a disappointment, especially when one's routine is the same day after day.

There is a nagging sense of emptiness.

In the middle of busy days, a sudden void opens in the heart, and thoughts arise:

My life was never meant to be this way.
What if it goes on like this to the bitter end?
What's the point?
Shouldn't there be something more?

We lose ourselves in work, love, family, or leisure, and we come to believe that these pursuits give us a reason for living, but only as long as we forget the shadow of death.

Why is our happiness always mixed with sadness?
Where can we find true happiness that will never fade away?
What is there in life that will never betray us, that we can devote ourselves to without regret?

These age-old questions cry out for clear answers.

Father, help me to understand why am I am here and what's my purpose!

I want to be more like YOU!

Help ME!

How can I keep from singing?


My life flows on in endless song, above earth’s lamentation.

I hear the real though far off hymn – that hails a new creation.

No storm can shake my inmost calm, while to that Rock I’m clinging.
Since Love is lord of heaven and earth.

How can I keep from singing?
Through all the tumult and the strife,

I hear that music ringing.

It sounds and echoes in my soul;

How can I keep from singing?

No storm can shake my endless song.
My life flows on in endless song.

Since Love is Lord of heaven and earth.
How can I keep from singing?

The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart.
A fountain ever springing;
All things are mine since I am his;

How can I keep from singing?

No storm can shake my in most calm, while to that Rock I’m clinging.
Since Love is Lord of heaven and earth.

How can I keep from singing?
